In this video, I explained why I started writing, how I started and the forms of journaling I engaged in showing my actual journals and how I utilized them.
The purpose of this video is to introduce those that don’t already journal to it and most importantly to emphasize that there are different ways to express ones self when it come to writing. Be it Bullet Journaling (Bujo), listing, drawing, painting, doodling, book scraping and/or adult coloring, it doesn’t matter so long as you recognize one that is an healthy outlet for you.
Please share the preferred way you like to keep record; physical journal, audio and/or electronic which has become my favorite.

It will always be a natural way for me, an acoustic straight-to-paper way. But I’m interested in getting into a digital format and videos. Doddling and book scrapping are perfect newbie ways to get into it!
Journalling is so underrated. It’s such a good stress reliever and way to be creative!
Yes, it definitely brings about creativity!
I am definitely more into journaling digitally. Mostly because my own handwriting is so awful! But, I agree with how important it is to record and journal yourself!
Yes, for those of us with not too great handwriting (depending on the time of the day or mood), Yes, I would recommend digital/electronic journaling but you already know that!
I haven’t started journaling yet (crazy, I know) because it’s almost intimidating to figure out where to start, but this was really helpful! I loved being able to see your journal & remind myself that there really are no rules. 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Absolutely!
Oh my, I find myself collecting journals and never finishing them. Blogging became my “journaling” and I do find myself sometimes longing to put a pen to paper.
Blogging could be a form of journaling as you’re documenting a part of your life. However, the most important thing for me with journaling is transparency and one couldnt optimize that with a blog.
I don’t really journal much but I guess my blog sort of counts for one? While its not really a lifestyle blog that blog has been with me through great and tough time and I catalogged it all in one way. I think that starting it while away from your family sounds like a good idea – I should have maybe tried that when I had moved away and was homesick.
Well now you know and can choose to do it when next you are homesick!
I use to journal all the time. Now that I have kids I just can’t seem to find the time. I’ve been really bad about being consistent with it lol.
I wasn’t always consistent with it either but once I start to see the benefit of journaling especially regarding my mental health, I started to be more mindful about it!
I love to journal. My favourite way to journal is online … although I’d love to lean to bullet journal one day.
I love this. Writing has always be a passion for me, but blogging is such a unique type of writing!!
I wish I had more time to journal myself. It seems really therapeutic and a little hobby that provides some me-time too.
I try to find time!
I love to journal!! There is something about pen and paper and putting all my thoughts down that is so therapeutic!
I could journal all day but don’t. Thanks for sharing these details!
You are welcome!
I love to do gratitude journaling. I have a journal with specific prompts and it really has helped me to laser focus the positive.
I never kept a gratitude journal but I do have a gratitude jar. I may try the gratitude journal someday!
I don’t journal often, only when I am feeling overwhelmed and need to get my thoughts out. When I do, it’s usually pencil to paper because I feel like I can get my thoughts out better that way even though I can type faster than I can write.
I can relate as I type better than I write. You should consider opening an email account exclusively for journaling. Good luck!
When I was younger I would write in my journal quite often. I think I’ll start again because it was very relaxing.
This video is great, and I love your floral top! I enjoy this because I also journal, so it is so interesting to see how other people journal 😀
Thank you.
I would definitely say that in a way that our blogs can be digital journals, as I tend to talk about my life on my blog. Although when it comes to traditional journaling I have not done it in a while but it did help me come to terms with and process my feelings a lot as a kid. It is a very cathartic medium.
Thank for stopping by!
I have an actual obsession with journalling! I try to bujo every day, but then I also like to keep a more detailed journal/diary with my thoughts and feelings, as well. I’ve been doing this since I was a young kid and have kept it up ever since!
Great. Thanks for sharing!
I like to journal, unfortunately, Although, I no longer do it on a daily basis due to my crazy life schedule, I still have my journal and every now and then I try to do it.
So long as you have it and use it as needed. Thats great!
I always love seeing how people journal! I don’t do it much, but I’m sure it would be helpful!
I don’t journal. I used to when I was going through hard times. I spend my extra time now reading! 🙂
I try not to associate journaling with bad time; not saying you are. Just as a way to express myself!
Thanks so much for sharing such a personal experience with us. I think journaling is a beautiful way to relax every day and I don’t do it near as much as I’d like to!
You are in good company! I dont either!
Great video! I love journaling, I just need to start making more time for it than I have lately.
I am guilty of the same. I mostly do it as needed. Just dont beat yourself up too much about it!
journaling is my favorite. it’s so therapeutic and relaxing!
It is indeed!
Well, I did keep record while I was younger. Nowadays, I only write. But I love the way you do it!
Thank you!
Doing writing on paper makes me feel special. My husband is writer and he tends write the hardest part of the book on paper and then retype them into the book. So far it works great for him
Yes, I think a lot of writers can identify/relate with what your husband does! lol
I don’t journal often, I use to do it when i was a child but I’m going to do it again now.
That’ll be really cool to pick it back up!
I don’t journal but I do have an organizer and write my plans, or jot down happy moments. I have given journals as gifts to my kids to document what they want though.
It is very very important for kids in their formative years.
I haven’t tried all the ways you mention there is to journal. but I have found a way that works for me and it makes me happy!
That’s all that matters!
I’ve heard a lot about journalling recently. I’ve never really done it myself, but it is definitely something I would like to try. Thanks for sharing how you journal. It must be nice to look back on them as the years pass.
It is really nice …. thats one of my favorite things to do. I don’t do it as much as I like to though!
I actually have a travel journal which was also a path to self discovery. I love to journal my travels, but I also do a little bit of water a color in it. I had no idea that I had any talent whatsoever, but I’ve created something that I truly love and enjoy working with.
That’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I wish could find the passion and time to journal my everyday life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and how you journal.
I used to love writing in a journal every night before bed. I should really pick it up again!
April
I hope you do April! Good luck
I’m still working on consistency in journaling. I get started but fizzle out. I need to find a way to make it a habit.
It’s intere to see your journey and how you have changed over the years. I don’t journal, but I wish I did. Is probably start out with a physical journal, because I spend so much time blogging, it would feel good to get out the old pen and paper.
It does feel great but I do electronic journaling and that works out great as well!
Journal is great, some might undermine the idea but it’s a better pen down. U got lots sister full the whole books, that’s realistic work done there. U must have come up movie script from them?
I appreciate you shared
Thanks for your insightful feedback and for stopping by my brother!
It is great that you do journal I do too! Great video too btw x
I’ve always loved journaling! I currently have 4 active journals. I have my everyday life journal, my gratitude journal, my dream journal and my goals journal. One day I hope to add a travel journal!
O wow. I hope I can break it down to those types someday.
Thanks for sharing the ways you journal. I’ve journaled for as long as I can remember – long form physical journals tho. Can’t get into bujo-wish I had the time. Have tried others (audio & vid) but nothing replaces the feel of pen to paper. 💕 Xo, Evelyn, PathofPresence.com 🦋
Oh how cool…that is so awesome. I totally wish more people had this mindset.
